Benefits of Stenocide Injection
In Bacterial infections
Stenocide Injection contains two different medicines that work together to kill the bacteria that cause infections. Ticarcillin belongs to a group of medicines called penicillins that work by stopping the growth of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Ticarcillin against bacteria.
Stenocide Injection can be used to treat many different bacterial infections such as ear, sinus, throat, lung, urinary tract, skin, teeth, joints, and bones. This medicine usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.
